Know before you go

These places are very religious, and even if you do not share these beliefs, please be patient and respectful of their worship and traditions.
According to Judaism, after the destruction of the Second Temple, the 'shchena' cloud of God left the Temple Mount but did not leave the Jewish people. Since then, it is believed to remain over the graves of the pious Jews. Many people still come there today to pray and ask for help from these 'Zadikim' - the pious Jews.
You can consider this tour as an opportunity to ask for what you may need, or simply to see and learn about this long-standing and spectacular Jewish tradition.
